Giving to UNB

Why UNB Fredericton?

From a proud UNB parent:

I have five children and between their undergraduate and post-graduate degrees, I have become familiar with the policies of many universities. My other children have attended various universities in Nova Scotia and Ontario. Of all these, I have been most impressed by the University of New Brunswick.

From the first moment she visited your campus, Stacy was made to feel welcomed and at home. From the meetings for students and parents before she even started her studies, to the student mentor program during her first year, to the invitations to attend award ceremonies each year in October, I found UNB to be the most student-centered of all the universities my children attended.

Thank you very much for all the pleasant surprises and for giving my youngest daughter an excellent education in a caring and friendly environment.
